So, here we … Continue reading Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

The Player King
The Player King by Avi My rating: 2 of 5 stars This book was okay. What was really interesting to me was the very end when it mentions that while the story is fiction, it is based on real events. Once I knew that, it brought a new life to the story. The Player King … Continue reading The Player King
Basil of Baker Street
Basil of Baker Street by Eve Titus My rating: 2 of 5 stars I have to admit, I read this book because I grew up on the Disney movie.

Slacker
Slacker by Gordon Korman My rating: 2 of 5 stars I will admit, I had a hard time getting into this book. It picks up as you read, so if you are like me, KEEP GOING. By the end, I was cheering everyone on and crossing my fingers that there wasn't some huge plot twist. … Continue reading Slacker
Regina Rising
Regina Rising by Wendy Toliver My rating: 2 of 5 stars I would recommend watching the show before reading this book. Normally, I would say book first, but because this is just the background story of one of the characters of a television show, I would switch the order. There was part of of the … Continue reading Regina Rising
